Bob: I understand we have one last event Jim!
Jim: That's right Bob! This is one for The Mom, and it's called Extreme Procrastination Bob. Our Human Hostess is a real champion in this event!
Bob: I understand that on some nights this last week she was still putting together posts at the last minute, even when she thought of the events weeks ago!
Jim: That's right Bob. She likes to live on the edge! Do you remember on the first night of competition when the Mr Linky didn't work?
Bob::Chuckles:: If there was an event on swearing, our hostess might have taken home the gold! Let's not forget night two, when she thought she had deleted night one in a frenzied last minute posting debacle! And clearly tonight is no different. It's almost nine!
Jim: Good times Bob! Let's call it the exhibition sport of the games!
Bob: Well Jim it's been great fun for all of us here at Fin-Land. I hope all the pets and their humans had fun.
Jim: We were going to offer a highlight reel with all the excitement, but the events and the posts have been coming so fast Bob, we don't think it would be possible to get everyone mentioned, and we'd hate to miss anyone. Frankly it's been like herding cats!
Bob: What Jim, you mean there isn't going to be an award ceremony?
Jim: Some of the other hosts are calling winners Bob, but here at the H.C. we feel like we're all winners! We've had fun, and having the opportunity to see all the skills and creativity that our friends have displayed has been it's own reward.
Bob: So what's going to happen to us now Jim?
Jim: Well Bob, our contract has been picked up and I understand we may make future appearances here. So all ends as it should. Our hostesses are going to take a couple of days off as the human as caught a cold and Finny is worn out from all the competing, then it'll be 400 posts soon, and they have something planned for the Acatemy Awards.
Bob: Well Jim that all sounds exciting, and of course our champion procrastinator will be waiting to till the bitter end to write those posts too! We're signing off!
awww I don't want the cat-olympics to end :). It's been so much fun! My kitties are sending lots of purrs and meows to all the hosts and kitty contenders.
ReplyDeleteSo sad that the Cat-O-Lympics are ending, but it's been a lot of fun! Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteAcatemy awards...oohhhhh I smell lots more fun in the future!! Later Jim and Bob hope to see you too again! Finny get your beauty rest I know you've been competing hard and I hope your mom starts feeling better real soon
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Fin-mummy for doing such a wonderful job. My mum says next time you can host the most popular event though :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on a fabulous job, everyone. We don't want it to end, either, because it's been such fun, but our slave/assistant understands that other slaves/assistants might need a break.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Our human wants to know if the Cat-O-Lympics graphic she's seen on various sites is available to participants for use in their blog sidebar. (Eg. We participated in...) She doesn't want to copy/steal anything without permission!
Thank yoo for hosting such a fabulous Cat-O-Lympic series. We have LOVED it!
ReplyDeleteThanks to Jim, Bob, Fin and the human. It's been lots of fun.
ReplyDeleteY'all sure came up with a wonderful event roster...you, the human, Jim & Bob get the Gold!!!
ReplyDeleteIt went by SO fast! But we want to send purrs and headbutts to you and your mom for coming up with such a fun and creative week! You two ROCK the blog world.
ReplyDeleteIt has been a wonderful week, we've had so much fun in all the competition. Thank you for all the work organising it.
ReplyDeleteWe had the bestest time. Not just competing but reading about all the stuff our friends were doing. ~AFSS
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for organizing the Cat-O-Lympics. Your great idea inspired some amazingly creative posts, and it was wonderful to see so many kitties participate in the events. Here's a big "thank you" to you, your mom, Bob, and Jim for such a fun week.
ReplyDeleteWhat a riot! I admire these great athletes!
ReplyDeleteThis has been a wonderfully creative and entertaining idea; we really enjoyed all the competitions even though we didn't participate=Mom says maybe next time when she's a little more confident with the blogging (she's still got to figure out that linky stuff!!)...We appreicate all the hard work everyone put into this and are so glad everyone won the gold=you're all champions to us!!...Fin, hope you get some rest and your Mom feels better soon...xo...Calle, Halle, Sukki
ReplyDeleteWe have enjoyed taking part in the Cat-O-Lympics very much. Thank you Fin and mom for doing such a great job in hosting them. You deserve a few days rest now. We hope the mom soon feels better.
ReplyDeleteFin and mom, we've had such a wonderful time in the Cat-O-Lympics! Thanks so much for hosting and organizing everything and getting it kicked off. Bob and Jim have been a delight, we're happy to see they'll be back again in some form.
ReplyDeleteWe're sending purrrrrs to the mom that she'll feel better soon!
Purrs and hugs,
The Kitty Krew
We don't have pics yet ... But we are doing the Halfpipe in the hallway ... Shaun White would be jealous!!
ReplyDeleteGet well too!!
ReplyDeletePurrs ...
All of us here, sure do think that Fin and Jim and Bob and the human should be the ones that get the gold medal. This has been so very much fun and what a wonderful way to get to know the other bloggers and make more friends.
ReplyDeleteSure hope your human feels better soon Fin. She just needs some rest. Next time, we all need to divide up the duties so one person doesn't have to do all the work.
Feel better.
We've loved all "the commentary" here during these Cat-O-Lympics. Maybe you can make it a point to continue your remarks now and then over the next few months.
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you again for making all this possible.
JimBob, BobJim... we're going to miss you. Please come back to visit. Maybe you can get a reporting gig on the red carpet.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Fin and Fin's Mom!!! What a wonderful week of spectacular events. You've been great hostesses... providing inspiration, excitement... now, where's the nip?!
Gold medals to you both!
XOXO,
Katie & Glogirly
Pee S. Our own Olympic Results Recap is scheduled for tomorrow. We've got a promo out on the blog for the big event!
There may be a future for Jim and Bob at Friday Night Fights next season! Have their people call our people.
ReplyDeleteWe have had so much fun!! Thanks for hosting and enjoy your time off!

We had a super fun time competing in the Cat-O-Lympics and I was honored to share the ice with you in our ice cube hockey match. I'm looking forward to a match of cherry hockey this summer.
ReplyDeleteI still do want to try snowboard...
It was great fun and I loved seeing such a wonderful spirit of competition.
ReplyDeleteNo! They can't end! We wanna keep going and going:)
ReplyDeleteFin and Fin's mom...thanks so much for getting the Cat-O-Lympics off the ground! We think every cat has had a great time competing in all the various events!! We know we have!!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, we were gonna have the medal ceremony for the Synchronized Snoozing event tomorrow...but unfortunately the judges have been fighting over who should win and no decision has been made yet!! Medal ceremony is postponed for one more day!!!
Wooohoooo Finny SIF!!! You have done a fine job. Concats to your mom too. The CB is all fired up by this event and there is a great community spirit as well as innovative pics all around.
ReplyDeleteHello Fin, a pleasure to meet you and see all of your adventures :) Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment. *under chin strokes* Say hi to your mom too!
ReplyDeleteWe are kitties that blog, cannot we just extend the Cat O Lympics another week? This was way too much fun! I did compete in two events, those are showing in my second and third last past from today. I didn't know you had a linkie thing. I was in the Sny. Snoozing and also the Napping Competition. When will the awards be? How are the judges in those events? My mom would take the gold in this event for sure but I don't think she will get around to posting about it, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. How long will this event go on. Maybe I could come up with something foro myself?
ReplyDeleteEverycat knows that Fin went all out to make the 2010 Cat-O-Lympics the fantastic success that it was. In addition to thanking the hosts of the events we also want to thank Jim & Bob for their in-depth, minute-by-minute coverage and give a nod to Fin's Mom for all her help and to all the participants - the cathletes, the judges and those who worked behind the scenes to make it happen.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone!
we have just got back from being away and catching up on the cat-olympics - we are missing out big time on that and will tell Mrs H this immediately! Great effort, and we think you (Mom) should get a gold. Love Darcy and Bing xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun week! You're the best Fin!!!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyable posts. We have cat olympics every evening in our large living room. Sophie and Lily compete in tag team events. Lily has no competition when it comes to her high jumps in the air after wads of paper. Max is the best spectator around.
ReplyDeleteLily is also the cover girl for our latest book--Catscapades, True Cat Tales. And her harrowing story of her near death experience and miraculous recovery is included, along with additional pictures of her and many other cats. (Full color.) www.matilijapress.com/catscapades.html.

**paws clapping*** Great job to Fin and her beans!!!
We want to thank you so much for taking the time to stop by our blog to let us know about the Cat-O-Lympics. Mom was trying to find the picture we wanted to post but never found it. So we missed it. So if there is another one in two years maybe we'll be better prepared for it. Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteCasper and crew
Thanks Fin and Mom for all the fun!! We had a blast!! We love the Acatemy Awards, too!
ReplyDeleteYour TX furiends,
We did not even get to purrticipate and now the games are almost over.
ReplyDelete--JB
Hooray for Fin and Mom for hosting such a wonderful Cat-O-Lympics! Willow and I had planned on entering some events but our Lady was busy and ran out of time to help us... However, we had a great time looking at all of the entries - everyone was spectacular and should be very proud, indeed! Now we are certainly looking forward to the A-Cat-emy Awards!
ReplyDeletePurrrrrrrrs, China Cat
The C-O-L has been a huge success!
ReplyDeleteIt's been fun watching the competitions and we had no idea there were so many athletic and talented cats in the Blogosphere!
We've left you an award over on our blog, Fin! Enjoy:)
ReplyDeleteSuch a brilliant idea, very well done Fin and mummy of Fin!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Fin. We have had a wonderful time participating in some of the events.
ReplyDeletehey fin,
ReplyDeleteWe want to thank you and all the other bloggers who helped host Cat-O-Lympic events. It was a GReat success judging by the number of contestant and posted comments. What a lot of fun we had. Y'all did a simply marvelous job with the 2010 Cat-O-Lympics. Even our dogs loved being involved and we all got to showcase some of our talents. Congratulations to the winners and everyone that got involved.
